Testimonials

Thanks so much to Cliff and everyone else at the mushroom growing class this past weekend. I learned so much, enjoyed spending time with so many kindred spirits, and as always, meals were delicious.

Susan Horn

I really enjoyed the course. It’s opened my eyes to a whole new realm of possibilities. It was worth every penny.

Amy Cline

I love these people. This course was very tasty in many ways. The knowledge share of bioregions, community regeneration and plant/animal ecologies was priceless. I have tools and pathways to not only feed my family and friends, I can grow blueberries!

The Regenerative Earthworks course was epic! Thanks to the generosity of Cliff Davis and everyone else at Spiral Ridge, I feel very good about soil, geology, and the techniques used to generate food and encourage biodiversity.

Spiral Ridge is so inspirational! Thank you for all that you do,Cliff Davis, Jennifer Albanese and family. Feeling encouraged, renewed and energetic. So much love.

I came to Tennessee to see what they were about after Dave Jacke (author of Edible Forest Gardens) recommended them, to me, last year. Being a firm believer that one can always gain new knowledge, and being a permaculture teacher and trainer myself in other countries, I wanted to see how other people who practice permaculture and other alternative methods teach and live. I was not disappointed.

I really enjoyed this class! You guys did an awesome job teaching. Your flexibility, patience and willingness to meet our needs was incredible. It made learning truly a joy. The content was amazing.

I took the course to give credibility to my passion for “permaculture” and as a step towards education and further direction in my career in horticulture. I feel better prepared and qualified. I enjoyed each instructor.

What I enjoyed most about Spiral Ridge was I wasn’t sitting in a classroom learning things that I could find myself in a book. I was putting my hands in it, and walking in it and eating it.”

Each weekend I came prepared with questions for Cliff. Through ongoing dialog, workshops and classes, this course helped me paint a clearer picture of what is possible. I plan to apply these design principles to our future land and create a sustainable homestead. Got a question about agriculture? Ask Cliffapedia.
